To me, one of the weirdest things about the internet is how hard it is to determine someone's age. Like, imagine living in a world where everyone looks like an adult and is treated like an adult, except that some people are secretly two middle schoolers in a trench coat, and most of the time nobody can tell the difference because a lot of the real adults act like middle schoolers anyway. That's kind of how it is. Someone could be a gross, shitty 40-year-old man talking about their very real divorce on Gaia Online, or they could be 14 years old and making it all up. You can make a pretty good guess as to which it is, but you'll never know for sure.

What are you talking about, life is like this, you don't how many trench coats I've opened to discover a pre-teen with abnormally large head and hands standing on stilts in my job as a security officer.

I really like the nickelback video for gotta be somebody because the absurd overacting and camera shaking and scale of the set make it look way, way heavier than it is, and then it's just some fucking nickelback song you couldn't possibly perform that way. It's a perfect picture of nickelback as a whole, of something that's way less exciting than it's pretending to be.
